Beauty

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2005)

When watching The Legend Of 1900 for the first time I was amazed. This film is made with beauty. Tim Roth's best work to date, he plays 1900 fantastically.
This film isn't just about 1900 and his story it's about the music. It's about how the music can be the sound to anything, beauty, sadness, evil and love.
The score to this film is beautiful. When we see 1900 play the piano whilst watching the girl through the window, it's like a window into 1900 we see exactly how he feels for the first time.
The duel between 1900 and Jelly Roll Morton is definitely the highlight of the film and it managed to make me laugh and then cry.
I didn't want this film to end, I thought there was a lot more to see about 1900. The way the story is told by 1900's best friend is great and gives us a good insight into 1900's character and also leaves us wanting to see more.
